Excess Baggage Charge

PUCHASE YOUR EXTRA BAGGAGE ONLINE AND SAVE

If you have already purchased an Alitalia ticket and you know that you are going to travel with extra luggage, you can purchase your extra baggage online and save 20% compared to the tariff you would pay if purchased at the airport.

The extra baggage can only be purchased by the ticket holder by using a credit card during the web Check-in process. Web Check-in service is available up to 30 hours before flight departure.

Refund

You are entitled to a full refund for the extra luggage allowance you have purchased in advance if:

  • Your flight is not operated by Alitalia.
  • The original flight has been cancelled and you have refused the alternative flight offered by Alitalia.
  • The luggage for which you have purchased the extra allowance in advance is missing and is not found within 45 days.

You are not entitled to a refund if, after the purchase of your extra baggage, you decide to take less luggage/weight than the extra luggage paid for in advance. If you will bring more luggage/weight than that included in the extra baggage you purchased in advance, you will be charged the normal rate for excess luggage.

The request for refund can only be submitted via the Alitalia website by completing the online form.

For further details, please read the Terms and conditions.
